Anthony also received two additional Gold Key awards for two of his paintings. Scholastic is highly competitive, so this is a real accomplishment.<br /><br />Anthony is equally adept in 2D and 3D art-- drawing, painting, ceramic sculpture, and even glass.

What is fractal art? What is a fractal?<br /><br />Very simply put, a fractal is a geometric shape that can be split into parts, with each part being a reduced-size copy of the whole.<br /><br />Fractals can be found in the natural world, but can also be described in mathematical terms. In recent years, mathematicians and artists have been creating "fractal art".<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6jS1x_MWIpg/TbXpMDw8mcI/AAAAAAAACo4/tbO4ajrwmCo/s1600/Brassica_romanesco.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6jS1x_MWIpg/TbXpMDw8mcI/AAAAAAAACo4/tbO4ajrwmCo/s400/Brassica_romanesco.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5599638105083386306" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Romanesco Broccoli</span></span><br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-GVTaSVLFfLs/TbXqRkhFCdI/AAAAAAAACpA/WWECeuTLD3M/s1600/Gasket_View_by_n8iveattitude1.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 298px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-GVTaSVLFfLs/TbXqRkhFCdI/AAAAAAAACpA/WWECeuTLD3M/s400/Gasket_View_by_n8iveattitude1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5599639299286174162" border="0" /></a><br /><br />What we are going to do is, after reading a little more about fractals, go to a website that will allow you to create and save your own fractal art.<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-nnMjCFKj2pc/TbXpKfjHyvI/AAAAAAAACoY/MLx5y2wiMcU/s1600/Fiery%2BTree.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 329px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-nnMjCFKj2pc/TbXpKfjHyvI/AAAAAAAACoY/MLx5y2wiMcU/s400/Fiery%2BTree.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5599638078181853938" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">Jacobi, <span style="font-style: italic;">Fiery Tree</span></span><br /><br />To begin, follow these links to get some basic information about fractals: 1) <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractal">fractal</a>, and 2) <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandelbrot_set">Mandelbrot set</a>. After you have read these pages, go <a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=fractal+art&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wi&biw=1588&bih=1006">here</a> to see some examples of fractal art. (<span style="font-style: italic;">Difficult as it may be, try not to spend all day exploring, as you will need to go on and create your own fractal art</span>.)<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">ASSIGNMENT: Create and save your own piece of fractal art.</span><br /><br />1) To do this, go to the website <a href="http://www.easyfractalgenerator.com/Home.aspx">Easy Fractal Generator</a>.<br /><br />2) On the top menu bar, click on "Mandelbrot Set". Read the basic information, and don't worry too much about the math-- the beauty of this website is that you don't need to understand the math to create your fractal art.<br /><br />3) On the same page, look at the fractal image with the black shape on an orange background. You will see some buttons directly above it: In, Out, Select, and Move. Use these buttons to zoom in (or out) and explore the fractal. You can also change the colors: click on "Color Management" (directly above the other buttons), and select "Change Fractal Colors" from the pop-up menu.<br /><br />4) Experiment for a while... when you get something that you like, you can save it. To save an image: click on "Export" (to the left of Color Management). You will see a pop-up menu with three options-- <span style="font-style: italic;">custom-size file</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">poster size</span>, and <span style="font-style: italic;">mouse pad size</span>. If you want to save some images just for fun, select <span style="font-style: italic;">custom-size</span> and save at either 640 x 480 or 800 x 600. Click on <span style="font-style: italic;">Export to File</span>. This will create your image (it may take a few moments). When your image appears, click on <span style="font-style: italic;">Save image to PC</span>. Save your image to your personal folder on the school server.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">5) REQUIREMENT: create a fractal design with custom colors, save it at <span style="font-style: italic;">mouse pad size</span>, and save it in your personal folder on the server. THEN, send it to me at my school e-mail address.</span> (see AAW website for my e-mail address)<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Note: when in the Computer Lab, do NOT create an image at "poster size". This will be a large file and will take several minutes to process.</span> <span style="font-style: italic;">Of course if you are doing it at home, go for it if you want to.</span><br /><br />When all of your pictures have been submitted, I will make a new blog post and post some (or all) them. If they come out really super-cool, I may print some of them on the "good paper" and exhibit them in the showcase.<br /><br />We will be in the lab working on this project for two days. Of course, you may work on it at home as well if you need or want extra time.<br /><br />--Jacobi<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-WtIDIS4ESh8/TbXsSuwMVaI/AAAAAAAACpI/aIruSX9BMlI/s1600/julian%2Bfractal.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-WtIDIS4ESh8/TbXsSuwMVaI/AAAAAAAACpI/aIruSX9BMlI/s400/julian%2Bfractal.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5599641518237046178" border="0" /></a>RJhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09258116825085568651noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-365750942355105831.post-68403428224044327522011-03-07T19:57:00.000-08:002011-03-07T20:03:34.982-08:00Figure Drawings<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">***</span><br />Here are some figure drawings from my students.

font-weight: bold;">Lowbrow Art</span>, also known as <span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">Pop Surrealism</span>, is an art movement that has its origins in the 1960s and 1970s, coming originally from California hot rod / kustom car culture, underground comix, countercultures from the 1960s, 70s, and 80s, and other subcultures as well.<br /><br />The term Lowbrow art came about as a reaction to the <span style="font-style: italic;">highbrow</span>* art typically found in many art galleries and museums. Where the mainstream of much contemporary art places little emphasis on skill, artists in the lowbrow movement are typically highly skilled; many come from an illustration background.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">*</span><span style="font-style: italic;">definition of highbrow: a person with intellectual or cultural pretensions; an intellectual snob. May also refer to pretentious art galleries and museums-- supposedly sophisticated, but maybe not!</span><br /><br />One of the major promoters of lowbrow art is the magazine <span style="font-style: italic;">Juxtapoz</span>, founded by lowbrow artist Robert Williams. Williams worked as an "underground comix" artist in the 1960's, appearing in <span style="font-style: italic;">Zap</span> and other comic books as well. Prior to that he worked for Kustom Kar designer Ed "Big Daddy" Roth, who was also the creator the the character <span style="font-style: italic;">Rat Fink</span>.<br /><br />Ed "Big Daddy" Roth<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_bWidiVJ9ims/SuZtdh77RMI/AAAAAAAAB7g/jd_EAlRLA24/s1600-h/g%29+roth_photo.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;

Doctors want you to read this message</h1> <h2 class="rddeckline">That edge of technology? You're teetering on it</h2> <p class="rdbyline">By <a rel="nofollow" ymailto="mailto:clairetrageser@seattlepi.com" target="_blank" href="http://us.mc541.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=clairetrageser@seattlepi.com">CLAIRE TRAGESER</a><br />P-I REPORTER</p><p><br />You see them everywhere: driving, crossing streets, buying groceries or ordering coffee.</p> <div id="piStorytext"> <p>Their heads bent over open cell phones as their fingers leap across their keypads, unaware of the world around them.</p> <p>These "texters," who send and receive messages on their phones, are not just living on the edge of modern technology. They are also safety hazards.</p> <p>Put moving while texting up there with skating on thin ice and playing with matches.</p> <p>In an alert issued this week, the American College of Emergency Physicians warns of the danger of more serious accidents involving oblivious texters. These doctors cite rising reports from around the country of injuries involving text-messaging motorists, pedestrians, bicyclists, even Rollerbladers. And ER doctors who responded to a recent informal query from the organization reported two deaths, both in California.</p> <p>A San Francisco woman was killed by a pickup truck earlier this year when she stepped off a curb while texting, and a Bakersfield man was killed last year by a car while crossing the street and texting.</p> <p>Harborview Medical Center has not knowingly treated anyone injured while texting, said spokeswoman Susan Gregg-Hanson. However, after a driver typing on a BlackBerry caused a five-car pileup on Interstate 5 in December 2006, the Legislature enacted a law that banned texting while driving. This year has seen one accident caused by texting and 18 tickets given to text-messaging drivers, said Freddy Williams, spokesman for the Washington State Patrol.</p> <p>As ubiquitous as texters are on Seattle's streets, no one seems willing to fess up to texting-related injuries. But they do seem to have friends who have suffered such a fate.</p> <p>"I'll stop for a second at a stoplight to look around and make sure I don't hit anything," said Katie Castro, 24, who was caught texting while walking Wednesday afternoon on Sixth Avenue at Pine Street. "But I text all the time, while I'm walking, driving, at work. I really don't even talk on the phone that much anymore."</p> <p>Two other pedestrians, Sarah Polachek, 21, and Emily Crawford, 22, both said their friends walked into poles and swerved their cars while texting, but wouldn't admit to having any accidents themselves. In fact, both condemned continuous texters.</p> <p>"They think they can sense everything around them while texting, but they're oblivious," Crawford said. "For them, texting takes priority over safety."</p> <p>Polachek took her disapproval a step further.</p> <p>"I think texting is impersonal and stupid," she said. "It gets on my nerves."</p> <p>The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has no national estimate on how common texting-related injuries are. But among the reports it has received were of a 15-year-old girl who fell off her horse while texting, suffering head and back injuries, and of a 13-year-old girl who received stomach, leg and arm burns after texting her boyfriend while cooking noodles.</p> <p>Valerie Jarrett, an aide for Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, lent the issue some political weight when she fell off a curb in Chicago several weeks ago while typing on her BlackBerry.</p> <p>"I didn't see the sidewalk and I twisted my ankle," she said. "It was a nice wake-up call for me to be a lot more careful in the future, because I clearly wasn't paying attention and I should have."</p><p><a href="http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/local/372938_oblivioustexters31.html?source=rss">Click here for original article.</a><br /></p></div>RJhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09258116825085568651noreply@blogger.com0
